These are only the MD questions. I didn't copy down the MD/PhD questions. Max length is 250 words per question. Have fun!
1.Are You reapplying to the Keck School of Medicine?
2. From the time that you entered college until now, were there any periods of time that you were not enrolled in school (excluding vacations) ?
3. Briefly describe any unique qualities and abilities you posses which you would contribute to the diversity of our entering class.
4. Please provide a summary of your most relevant leadership experiences.
5. Please describe your participation in any activities that have benefited a disadvantaged and/or undeserved population.
6. The new curriculum, first implemented in 2001, is designed to enhance the understanding and clinical relevance of the basic sciences and to improve student's problem-solving and independent study skills. The curriculum will be based upon the use of cases and will increasingly incorporate small group learning, directed self-study and newer instructional technologies.
Do you see yourself thriving in this type of educational environment? Please give examples of why you think you would be well suited for this type of curriculum.
7. In addition to providing first class clinical training with our unique public/private hospital partnership, the Keck School of Medicine is providing leadership in biomedical research as we acknowledge that the future lies in molecular medicine. The four primary research initiatives are Cancer, Genetics, Neuroscience and Transplantation. A number of other multidisciplinary and interdepartmental research programs are emerging from our laboratories, classrooms and hospitals. At USC we feel it is vital to have both excellent clinical training as well as opportunities for a career in academic medicine.
Please express your level of interest in a career as a full-time faculty member in a medical school and provide examples of your research experience, if any.
